Frequently asked questions about hotels in Morocco
What are the best landmarks to visit in Morocco?
So many incredible landmarks! The Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakech is an architectural masterpiece, while the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca is equally stunning and modern. The blue city of Chefchaouen is a photographer's dream, and the ancient medinas of Fes and Marrakech are captivating labyrinths of souks and history. Don't forget the impressive ruins of Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Morocco?
Camel trekking in the Sahara Desert is a classic experience. Exploring the Djemaa el-Fna square in Marrakech at night, with its storytellers and musicians, is unforgettable. Haggling in the vibrant souks for spices, carpets, and leather goods is a must. A cooking class to learn the secrets of Moroccan tagines is a great way to engage with the culture. And of course, a relaxing hammam experience is essential for rejuvenation.
Spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) offer the most pleasant weather, with warm sunny days and cooler evenings. Summer (June-August) can be extremely hot, especially in the south, while winter (December-February) can be cold in the mountains and rainy in some areas.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Morocco?
Which neighbourhoods or areas are best for spending a week in Morocco?
Marrakech offers a vibrant cultural experience with its medina, souks, and palaces like the Bahia Palace and the El Badi Palace. Fes offers a more traditional and historical experience with its ancient medina, Chouara Tannery and Al-Attarine Madrasa. For a more relaxed pace, consider Chefchaouen with its blue-washed buildings and mountain scenery.
Which parts of Morocco are perfect for a weekend getaway?
Marrakech is easily accessible and offers a packed itinerary for a short trip. Essaouira, a coastal town, provides a charming and relaxed atmosphere with its beautiful beaches and medina. For a desert experience, a weekend trip to a desert camp near Merzouga could be considered, though travel time should be factored in.
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Morocco?
Renting a car can be beneficial for exploring areas outside major cities, offering more flexibility. However, driving in Morocco can be challenging due to traffic and road conditions. Public transport and organised tours are viable alternatives, especially in urban areas.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Morocco?
Credit cards are becoming more widely accepted, particularly in larger hotels, restaurants, and tourist areas. However, cash remains king, especially in smaller establishments and souks. It's advisable to carry sufficient dirhams.
What are the largest airports in Morocco?
The largest airports are Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca and Marrakech Menara Airport. These serve as major hubs for international and domestic flights.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about Morocco?
Modest dress is appreciated, particularly when visiting religious sites. Asking permission before taking photos of people is polite. Right-hand is used for eating and greeting. Bargaining is expected in the souks, but do it respectfully. Learn a few basic Arabic phrases; it's appreciated.
What local specialties should you try in Morocco?
Tagines are a must-try stew, varying by region. Couscous, a staple dish, comes in many forms. Pastilla, a savoury pie, is a delicious treat. Try mint tea, a national drink. And don't forget the delicious pastries like sellou and msemen.
Where are the best shopping spots in Morocco?
The souks of Marrakech and Fes are legendary for their vibrant atmosphere and diverse goods. Essaouira is known for its artisan crafts, particularly wood carvings and thuya wood products. For carpets, the souks of Marrakech and Azilal are renowned.
What signature events or festivals take place in Morocco?
The Mawlid, celebrating the birth of the Prophet Muhammad, is a significant religious event. The Gnaoua World Music Festival in Essaouira is a major international event. Ramadan, the holy month of fasting, is a time of spiritual reflection and community gatherings.
What’s the best place in Morocco for mild and comfortable weather?
Essaouira, on the Atlantic coast, benefits from a moderate climate year-round, with sea breezes tempering the heat in summer and milder temperatures in winter. The coastal areas generally offer more temperate conditions than inland regions.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Morocco?
Overestimating the acceptance of credit cards, not learning basic Arabic phrases, failing to negotiate prices respectfully in the souks, and not being adequately prepared for the heat in summer are common mistakes.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Morocco?
The Todra Gorge offers stunning hiking opportunities. The Paradise Valley near Agadir is a beautiful oasis. The charming town of Sidi Ifni on the Atlantic coast offers a relaxed atmosphere. The Ait Benhaddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a well-preserved example of traditional Moroccan architecture.
